CA11FoRN1a aTraR or ROSES,

S. J. Ford, of this city, took it into
his head short time ago, that the
beautiful roses, SO abundant ut this time
of year, might be put to some good use.
He accordingly went to timers and had q
tin-can made to hold six gallons. The lid
is air tight and has in the top long tin
tube of about an eight of an inch in di-
ameter, which is SO but as to allow of
placing the end in glass jar at some dis
tance from the can. The can is then filled
with fresh roses picked early in the morn
ing when the due is on them and water
poured in On them. The can is then
placed on stove and the water made TO
boil for about an hour, the end of q tin
tube being in jar of water on table
near by, cold water passing about the jar
continually to prevent the stenm from oy-
erheating the water and cause evaporation.
The result of this is the raising to the top
Of the water in the jar the pure altar of
roses which we purchase at some cost.
This is very simple contrivance and can
be operated without expense where there
is family of children to pick the rose
and keep up a reasonable fire, too much
heat not being desirable on account of ov-
erheating the water in the jar. AS above
stated the roses want to be gathered in the
morning and while fresh.-San Jose, Cal.

aAh! Chapl Is that one Of Fwank's?" ?"
said one of those beings that give
strong reason to believe in the Dar-
winian theory yesterday afternoon on
Chestnut street. The object addressed
was quite as nice an "its as the ono
that spoke, and the cause of the re-
mark was one of those coats intended
for the spring trade, but cut short in
its growth by the continued cold
weather.
"Yahs, deah boy. Ye see it's bloomin'
cold ter-day, an made date with a
fairy to walk ter-day, an had to do it,
me boy"
"How hawd did he stwike ye,
chappie9"
Seventeen cents till o'clock, an
8 cents an howah aftah, but I must be
back, ye know, an the posey costs 2
cents an howah, an I could only
bowwah o quawtah from my little
sistah."
Then they parted.
At 5 o'clock "Chappie" was seen
coming down the street. He turned off
Chestnut street at Twelfth, went few
doors, rang bell, and entered house.
The stroller followed it. In a nicely
furnished back room was seated we'll
dressed youth about 81 years of age.
He turned out to be "Fwank." All
around the room were hung garments
of all shades and kinds, but all were of
the latest English cut" Here "Chap-
pie" carefully took off the coat after re-
moving the rose that nestled in the
upper buttonhole. The bill was %
cents.
"What calm I do faw ye, chappie 2"
was "Fwank's" salutation as soon as
the wind had opened the door and
cleared the room.
"Well, this 'chappie' doesn't want
anything except to know little bit
about this industry of yours. Where
do you get these clothes hanging
around here, and is your business a
hourishing success?"
At first there was an apparent in
disposition to answer, but it didn't
take long to make up the little mind
possessed and a ewstartling facts were
developed. The details will not, how
ever, be told in the silly lingo of the
informer.
The establishment has been in exist
ence nearly two years and has been
growing rapidly ever since its organiza.
ton. The proprietor buys all kinds OF
fashionable clothing from slender dudes
whose fathers give them plenty. When
they get hard up they go to "Fwank's"
and there they receive very fair price
for their clothing. The cheap dude,
that stands on Chestnut street curb
stones and meanders do1efully up and
down, wondering all day when some
thing is going to happen to make it
rich, 80 it can enjoy life like other
"chaps," /" or waiting for some heiress to
fall in love with its shape, is the one
that enriches "Fwank." This branch
of the "genus dudii" seldom has more
than dollar at one time, but it must
make an appearance. So it goes to
"Fwank, and there it can get one OF
those dickey "top" coats for 10 cents
the first hour and cents an hour
after. On Saturdays and Sundays the
price is raised so per cent. Dress suits
are hired in the evenings for 40 cents.
1t often makes them 'go broke" for q
week on these occasions. Trousers can
be hired for from to cents an hour.
No security is required. On Satur-
days "Fwank" buys q job-lot stock Of
flowers and hires them out in lots
ranging from 2 to 5 cents an hour

4E DIsTRIBUT1oN OF FOREST 7
TBEWS

The controlling conditions in the dis
tribution of the forest trees are: first,
the characteristics of the species
second, the nature of the soil; third,
the chance of distribution of the seed /;
and, lastly, the assaults of the animal
enemies which each kind encounters
Some species-as, for instance, the
black-locust-are extensively subjected
to insect enemies. The oaks, on the
other hand, are, on account of their
acrid sap, tolerably we'll protected
from such dangers. AS whole, our
deciduous trees have established, by
one device and another, tolerably
strong defence against animal pests
In fact, they owe their continued ex-
istence to their success in preventing
this class of dangers. Now and then
some new enemy arises, which imperils
and may destroy species. An instance
of this sort has recently come to the
attention of the present writer
from some study of the forests of Ken
tucky, which was undertaken with the
cooperation of his assistants. It APP
pears from these observations that the
white-oa of that district, which, de-
spite the rayages of the OK, still con-
stitute some of its finest forests, are in
the way to disappear from their failure
to reproduce their kind. There are
singularly few young white-oaks in
these woods, but an abundance of the
less desirable varieties of red and
Spanish-oaks. The reason for this
seems to be that the nuts of the white
oak are more palatable to the squirrels
than those Of the other species; SO these
creatures industriously seek them out,
and only resort to the more bitter and
probably less nutritious nuts Of the
other species when those of the white
oak fail them. In similar ways other
animals react destructively upon other
forest trees. The introduction Of
swine in the settled portions Of the
forests brings greedy and judicious
palate to consume the more edibls nuts,
end % destroy ths progeny Of s,say

HE Was A TRAITOR.

A Dakota paper says: ut will be
remembered that in speaking of the de-
parture of one Of our citizens for the
East that we last week referred to him
as Judge Toots, distinguished citizen
of our booming young city, and a man
whom the people he goes amcng can
trust implicitly We wish to retract
all this and say that our city was glad
to get rid of old Toots and that as a
monumental liar, he gracefully reaches
up and removes the rag from the bush.
We see by a newspaper just received
that he is back there telling around
that the wheat crop dosen't average
over twenty-five bushels to the acre in
this country. He is fraud, q dead
beat and a general all-around liar" -

DANCING.

Dancing is very ancient institution.
AS a general thing, dancing is not con-
sidered promotive of piety. A promi-
nent clergyman is reported to have said
that woman doesn't have to dance
very long before her knees become too
stiff to bend in prayer. The same
thing may, however, be said of women
addicted to rheumatism.
Sam Jones says that waltzing is moth
ing but hugging set to music, where
upon Boston editor asks: "Is that
nothing? Unless Sam Jones can sug-
gest something to make it still more
hilariously delightful, let us on with
the may dance"
For some thousands of years in the
early history of the world, dancing was
exclusively religious ceremony. Dur
ing Easter the Spaniards dance before
lthe altar and utter pious CALCULATIONS.
In Ohio recently couple while
waltzing fell over the kitchen stove and
got branded. They said something at
the time, and although it sounded lit
tie like pious ejaculation, it was not
SO intended.
The dancing of David has frequently
been quoted, and many commentators
have thought that every psalm was ac-
companied by distant dance. st.
| Vitus also danced.
| The Indians have several kinds of
dances. The only real maizy dance is
the Indian green-corn dance.
| The heathens were also addicted to
dancing in the very earliest ages.
Homer says that Apollo capered to the
music of his own harp. Socrates, n
wise Grecian, took lessons from beau
tiful young lady named Aspasia. No
wonder Xanthippe kicked.
Hops are supposed to come from
Germany. If you want to see a$Ger-
man dance take away his beer on Sun
day.
The French are great at dancing,
but the Parisians say that if any man
can dance the merry can-can an Ameri.
can can.
Referring to French dances, Mrs.
Partington remarked that it was q
shame that the French ballet dancers
should be allowed to execute their
grand pas on the stage.
In dancing, it seems to be more ac-
ceptable for the dancer to have as a
partner one of the opposing sex, as it is
sometimes called. The expression on
the faces of two girls who are COM
PEELED to dance with each other on ac-
count of the scarcity of men is some-
thing painful to behold. .-Te1as Sift-

three forms sleep there, peacefully. and
quietly until they shall be called forth to
the neverending kingdom of rest. And
as the sun disappeared from mortal sight,
and as the shades Of night came on, sor-
,rowful figure could be seen approaching
that new-made grave, and, judging from his
movements, there must have been terrible
emotions within him. Soon the unenrthly
notes Of the whippoorwill were heard. and
together with the dirge of the frog, there
was formed strange chorus Of sounds
which were waited to the lonely grave; and
the tree which had stood there for years
and years, as living monument to their
memory, seemed to shake and quiver as if
machina.ion was formed against it."
Here the hunter ceased speaking, but
walked toward the apple tree and beckoned
me to come there also. I went there, when
he again said, @Here they lie TO this day,
and you see the grass is green on their
grave" We sat in silencs for few min
utes, when he again spoke, "And now
young man, I have told you the story re-
lating to this mystery which hangs over
this fearful place, and l trust that all is
clear now. Some say that the place is
haunted, and that three persons in white
are seen; if it is SO you can readily imagine
who they are" l then thanked him for
telling me the story, and asked if he knew
what became Of Edward Brennan.
Whereupon he looked Mt me, and l saw
that his eyes were full of tears, and with
an unsteady voice he snid, Edward
Brennan, whose life was snddened by the
loss OF his father, mother, and sister forty
years ago, stands before you, not any more
young man, but one who is ready to
leave this world with its sorrow and sin.
Shortly after l buried them went away,
unable to look upon that horrible place,
but an irresistible impulse has drawn me
here after that long lapse of time. And
here / stand again where stood forty
years ago, but all is changed; their grave
is oyergrown with grass, the saw mill is in
ruins, and the log cabin is fast crumbling
to ashes. The stream is, indeed, the only
feature that is not changed, while am the
most changed of ALL"
For few minutes sat with bowed
head, and when again looked up he was
gone, and being thus left alone in strange
way. I decided 10 go home; and when on
an elevated part of the mountain glanced
down into the vale I saw him kneeling
under the apple tree with uplifted hands.
The scene was too affecting to gaze at,
and journeyed homeward and arrived there
just as night was shrouding the earth in
darkness.
And during the night my slumbers were
disturbed by visions of Broad Mountain,
but I can truthfully say that I never re-
gretted learning that dark, mysterious secret
which was unfathomable for SO many years,
and which was yeilsd by canopy of dark
ness.
few years after my visit to Broad
Mountain the dead body of man was
found under an apple tree by some hunters,
who, having the true feeling of humanity,
proceeded to bury it there. Great was
their surprise when they unearthed three
human skeletons. However, they inferred
him with the skeletons, and need I say that,
